CU Urges Congress to Oppose the Small Business Health Fairness Act

Consumers Union is committed to helping ensure that consumers receive affordable, high-quality health care and join members of Congress in seeking workable solutions.

Consumers Union urges the House to oppose H.R. 660, “The Small Business Health Fairness Act of 2003.” We are committed to helping ensure that consumers receive affordable, high-quality health care, and join members of Congress in seeking workable solutions for reducing the number of uninsured.
